Cheeky little session you squeezed in there B. Good to have you in the team - welcome aboard!
Thanks guys. Need to train more on the sprints to get more power. The rate was 44 average and I do not normally go that high on sprints.

I try to run with friends where I can but sometimes they are faster than me and other times the other way around? Is it the training and entering that is important or the running together part?

I am being stupid either way but.... someone said they got a six pack from this workout. Is that from just doing this workout for seven days!? If so that is insane because I NEVER thought it was that easy (obviously under the circumstances of each individua...

'Someone' was pulling your leg. Every day for 6 months with the untimed exercises done very slowly, then perhaps. But not in just a week.

There's a new Weight Loss challenge in town and 2 of my girlfriends have decided they wanted to join. It's a 3 person team and they have asked me to join. Against my better judgement I agreed. I have done the same thing to myself everytime when I know I...

Don't forget the importance of cycling your routine. If you usually steady state cardio then stop it and do nothing but HIIT for 4 weeks or vice versa. It's a simpe thing but you must NOT do what you normally do. This usually yields great results.

Hi there! Its for 4 weeks to begin with. For some reason part of the challenge was not published - I will try and add the other stuff as its important! So 4 weeks, at least once per week. Then re-evaluate your goals at the end of 4 weeks.

I have started doing some HITT sessions on an Indoor Rowing machine in the gym. 30sec on 30sec off and it only takes 3 strokes to get to full speed so no time wasted. But just remember to use proper technique while using the rower for HITT or you will injur...
